Wildlife Expanded Skunk FAQ

Find a skunk in the world and hold sweet berries or carrots in your hand, then right-click on it repeatedly until it becomes tamed (you'll see a collar appear). Once tamed, the skunk will follow you and won't run away.

Both sweet berries and carrots can tame skunks, so you can use whichever you have available—there's no mechanical difference between them for taming purposes.

Yes, you can breed two tamed skunks by giving both of them carrots while they're close together. A baby skunk will spawn and will follow its parent until it grows up.

Skunks will spray at mobs attacking you or your skunk to defend you, dealing damage and potentially applying effects to the attacker. The spray is an automatic defense mechanic—you don't need to trigger it manually.

Right-click on a tamed skunk while sneaking (holding shift) to place it on your shoulder. Right-click again while sneaking to remove it.

Skunks will scare away most mobs and spray at attackers, but they specifically do not affect undead mobs like zombies and skeletons, so you'll still need other defenses against those.

Yes, skunks have glowing eyes in the dark, which helps you spot them and adds to their charm, but this is primarily a visual feature rather than a gameplay mechanic.

If a skunk is attacked, it will panic and try to run away; if it's tamed, it may also spray at the attacker to defend itself. Baby skunks will run toward their parent when scared.

Yes, you can tame multiple skunks and they'll all follow you, though managing a large group may become difficult in combat situations.

Skunks don't require constant feeding or special care once tamed—they'll simply follow you and defend you without additional maintenance.
